I don't have a standard catalog of cards that has the reprint set listed because I generally tear out the new section of the catalog (so it's not so heavy to carry around).

If these cards are fake then someone really knows what they're doing to make the cards look aged.

Who knows, I probably dropped a few bucks on some cards that are probably reprints.

Ya' never know Fred. Maybe you are the lucky one to find a Wags in grandpa's attic.

Some years back it was determined this was a 1917 set. The big book says it sold in 1991 for $45,100; in 1997 for $46,000 and in 2001 for $50,330.

Greg Manning reprinted the set in 1992. The reprints are 2" x 3", slightly bigger than the 1-11/16" x 2-3/4" originals. The banned players' reprint cards have a black frame added to the front and some data and stats on back. Manning also issued a colorized Joe Jackson.
